Jody's Notes

So this might sound kind of cold. When I heard about who this guy was, I thought: Oh wow, I can actually write a narrative poem about this--I can pull it off.

By the way, this poem was accepted by that short-lived magazine edited by Gorden Lish: The Quarterly. It was never published there because the magazine then promply folded. (That's happened to me twice. My short story, Sirens, was accepted by The Styles, and then that magazine promptly folded too.) Literary magazines, even before they started going extinct, were frail creatures, ones easily killed off.
